i need to ask someone with body shop experience that knows how much labor would cost to roll the fender lips in and up for a typical car?

I can't find the link exactly but i saw a picture on the net of a tool used for it that grabs on to the hub of the wheel at one point and rolls it in the other. Looks like a compass with an arm that has a wheel.

Ok, sorry if it's not a good description. But the rubbing is annoying as heck. I'd take the hammer and pound away but i'm afraid of cracking the paint therefore leaving the paint vulnerable to further chipping/cracking off and rust. I also thought of using a Dremel tool to it, but then again i would make the metal raw after i finished and it's another corrosion issue.

who ever can help, please recommend me something. I can tell my bro also as he has rubbing on his Jetta also with the bigger wheels.


if you're bored, here is some info on my slug...

if u have a contique the rear fender lip is probably shaved back as far as it can be. it seems that the weld is verrrrrrrrry close to the edge of that inner fold that ur tire is rubbing against. if you shave back or fold it under and break the weld, you're gonna risk some major problems with ur fender.
